Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the enhanced survival effect of ischemic skin flap by combined treatment with bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) and low-level light irradiation (LLLI). The neovasculogenic effect of BMSCs induced by LLLI was detected using a wound healing and tube formation assay. ICR mice were divided into four groups: control group, LLLI group, BMSCs group, and combine-treated group. The percentage of skin flap necrosis area was calculated on the seventh post-operative day. Specimens were harvested for histologic analyses. LLLI promoted BMSC migration and tube formation. The flap survival rate of combined treated group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Histologic results demonstrated a significant increase in neovascularization in the combined treatment group. This study demonstrates that combination treatment of BMSCs and LLLI could enhance the survival of ischemic skin flap in a mouse model.
